Character Creation -- Stats


Character statistics in the Reflections system is based on a grid (think personality charts). There are two axes to the chart -- Heart/Mind and Body/Soul. Heart/Mind controls whether the character is primarily controlled by logic or creativity. Body/Soul controls whether the character is primarily controlled by physicality or mentality.

Character Stat Grid

A base beginning character would have a total points of 0. This means that Heart/Mind balance to 0, placing a point along that axis, and that Body/Soul balance to 0, placing a point along that axis. This gives a single point within a quadrant.

As the character grows and adds points to any axis, the point will become a rectangle. A character who has maxed out would have 400 points -- 200 points for each axis.

Between the Lines characters will have a beginning point total of 50 points. This means that the two axes may balance to two totals which add up to 50 points (between 0 and 50 each -- 20/30, 10/40, 0/50 etc.).
